The question on my mind is; How did the poor mice get Alzheimer's.
found it!
To test the therapy, the scientists used genetically engineered mice designed to produce high levels of Aβ and display cognitive symptoms similar to those seen in Alzheimer’s patients.
similar!
cruel bastards.
How about we all chip in a few quid and force one of those Frankenstein research zombies to undergo the same treatment they give to mice. Create a genetically modified scientist GMS.
